DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE OF
ALTURAS COUNTY,
HALEY, IDAHO, Aug. 1887.

I
HALEY, IDAHO, Aug 1887.
W. W. YEArEs, ESQ. Assessor and Collector of
Al;uras County. Idaho Territory. Haley:
Yours requesting an opinion upon
Section ITO of the Revised Laws OF
Idaho, in reference to the collection
of delinquent taxes, received.
That section reads as folio VS.: "AlI
taxes assessed before this Code takes
effect must be collected under the
laws in force at the time the assess.
ment was made, and in the same
manner as if this Code had not been
passed"
A large proportion for this year
was assessed before the first day OF
June, the day upon which the new
law went into operation. A portion
Of the taxes, however, we're assessed
since the lst day of June, A. d. 1887
Under the law as it was prior to June
LIST, taxes became delinquent on the
second Monday in November, and
after becoming delinquent penalty
OF Is per cent, was added.
Under the law that became opera
tive June lst, taxes become delinquent
on the second Monday of December,
aud when delinquent penalty Of 10
per cent. is added.
Now let us apply Section l7l0. Ii,
means that the taxes assessed before
June lst must be collected under that
law-s'the law in force at the time the
assessment was made"-and if such
taxes become delinquent, they must
be collected under the law and in the
Same manner as il the Code had not
been passed.
If those who were assessed before
June 1st permit their taxes To become
delinquent on the second Monday in
November, they must pay the 10 per
cent. penalty, and those subsequent
to June lst, if delinquent on the sec
ond Monday in December, must pay
the 10 per cent, penalty.
However anomalous this may APP
pear, such is the plain mandate Of
Wood River times. [volume] (Hailey, Idaho) 1882-1915, 1887-09-13

visions of this Title, within the
period of six months after such sale
make satisfactory proof of ownership
to the County Commissioners Of the
county in which said stray was sold,
the said Commissioners must there
upon order warrant to be drawn
upon the Treasurer for the amount
paid to him upon the ale of such
estray. In case such proof is not
made within he said six months,
the money must be applied to the
county school fund of the county.
SEC. 1869. Nothing in this Title
must be SO construed as to permit
any person or persons to take up or
treat any animal as an estray be-
tween the first day of April and the
first day of November.
SEC. 1870 If the taker-up of
estray property converts the same to
his own use, before the title thereto
vests in him according to law, or if
he knowingly and willfully violates
any of the provisions of this Title,
he may be fined IN any sum not ex
ceeding five hundred dollars; but in
case estrays are work animals, they
may be used by the taker-up in the
same manner as though he were the
owner thereof, and the value of such
use must be deducted from the
charges attaching to such estray.

machinery. The tools for grinding lens are
very simple-merely round plates of cast iron,
about three feet in diameter, followed out to
suit the curves Of the lens. They look like
huge, shallow sancers. Three Of these tools
are necessary, one nearly fiat for the inner
surface of the flint glass, one convex, for
its outer surface, and one concave, for the
crown glass. The surface Of the tool is
covered with coarse emery and water, the
glass is laid upon it, and the grinding is
carried on by sliding the glass hack and forth
en- the tool. While sliding, the glass is slowly
turned round, while, at the same time, the
operators continually move around in the
other direction, SO that the strokes are made
successfully in every direction on the tool.
By these combined motions every inequality,
either on the glass or the tool, is gradu-
ally worn away. and both are reduced
to portions OF nearly perfect spheres. Then
finer emery is used until the surface becomes
quite smooth. Then comes the polish ng.
The whole tool is covered with thin coating
Of pitch, which is pressed, while still warm,
into the proper shape. 1t is then covered

portrait painting. He located in Boston and
painted beads for twenty years, earning over
S29, COO with his brush without ever having
been taught anything about the art. Though
he grew famous in quite another field, it was
to his days Of artist life that he always went
back in memory with the most affection.
And during his later years he again took up
the brush and found pleasure and recreation
IN the work of his young manhood.
He was more than 40~vhen he became in
terested i'll telescopes. Assisted by his two
sons he afterward produced the most accu-
rate and the two largest instruments in the
world His eldest son, George B. Clark,
while in college at Andover read treatise
TN Casting and Grinding the Spectrum"
Inspired by that he conceived the idea of
making telescope. He consulted his father,
who at once became deeply interested in it.
They worked together at the experiment, and
from this small beginning came the great
work which brought them fame and wealth.
Both sons were later included in the business,
and the firm was known as Clark & Sons,
Wood River times. [volume] (Hailey, Idaho) 1882-1915, 1887-09-13

and they worked together nearly forty years
Grinding lenses is a work which requires
the utmost nicely. Often, after months of
careful labor, flaw is found and all the
work must DO lost. Once when Mr.. Clark
was giving the final polishing to a lens upon
which years time had been expended, it
fell to the floor and was broken. Looking
woefully at the fragments few moments
In silence, he stood up, saying: Boys, we
will make better one" The unlimited pa
thence which enabled him to be cheerful IN
der such disaster was his chief character
i,tic. And he was ever cheerful and COM
panionable.
Mr. Clark was the first optician in the
United States to make achromatic lenses,
each completed lens being composed of two
pieces, one OF crown and the other Of flint
glass, and he invented numerous improve
ments IN telescopes and their manu-
facture, including the double eye piece,
an ingenious method of measuring
small celestial arcs. He made the 1888 inches
glass now in the Chicago observatory, the
one of "a inches aperture for the Washington
observatory, and 80 inch refractoE for the
Imperial observatory of ST. Petersburg, for
which the honorary medal of Russia was
awarded--the only one ever conferred upon
an American. The last and greatest work Of
Mr.. Clark and his SONS YVES the construction
of a 81 inch refractor for the Lick observa-
tory on Mt. Hamilton, i'll California. This
will be finished IN a few months, and will
be the largest in the world. Mr.. Clark was
also an astronomer of note, and made some
valuable discoveries, for which tho Lalande
gold medal was awarded him by the French
academy. The cheapest telescope Mr.. Clark
ever made cost $50, while the National hs
sold for S4G,00 and the Lick glass will cos,
$4,000 without the mounting The objec.
tives alone to these instruments are worth
81, 600 each, and are capable Of a magnify
ing power OF 1900 diameters, and of increas-
ing the surface of the object viewed to
$4,000 times its natural size. 1t takes a

months solid labor to make a good inch
objective, and a year for an 8 or 10 inch one.
In recognition OF his great contributions to
science degrees were conferred on Mr. Clark
by the universities Of Harvard, Amherst,
Princeton and Chicago, but he had worked
at telescopes for ten years without receiving
the slightest recognition or encouragement
from any official, scientific or educational
quarter And yet these ten yesrs We're those
of the revival or foundation of practical
astronomy in the United States. To Mr..
Dawes, u scientific divine of Europe. is due
the credit of bringing out this telescope
maker. At the time Mr.. Clark began a
correspondence with Mr. Dawes there was not
in all England On establishment which could
grind a large object glass into accurate
shape. England had lost the art of
shaping object glasses, but rough glass
of the necessary purity and uniformity
was cnst there as in no other country. Mr..
CGrl; for some time imported his rough disks

who WINS telescope fancier, always on the
lookout for Improvements in construction
and accounting.

with layer of water and the polishing rouge,
and the glass is again laid upon it, and kept
in motion in the same way as In the fine
grinding. Thus each surface Of the two
glasses is speedily brought to high polish.
Then the glass is tested to find the defects.
1t is set up OH edge, facing luminous point
at a distance equal to ten or fifteen times the
focal length. The image of the point formed
in the focus of the glass is then examined
with an eye piece of high power The glass
is then taken lack to the tool and the polish
ing process is recommended, only pressing
upon those parts of the glass where it has to
be ground away. 1t is tried again, and again
goes to the polishar.
So far no extraordinary skill on the part Of
the workman is required; but as the size Of
the glass is increased the process becomes
more difficult aud tedious, and the difficulties
of judging what the defects are increase enor-
mousIy
The telescope is by no means finished with
the glass. 1t must be tubed properly. 1t
must admit Of being moved by clock work in
such a way that as the earth revolves from
west to east the telescope shall revolve from
east to west with exactly the same velocity,
and thus point steadily at the same star The
details Of the machinery for attaining these
and other results have required a large
amount of thought and care.

THE LATE ALVAN CLARK, FAMOUS
TELESCOPE MAKER.

The Story of His Useful and Busy Life.
How He became an Astronomer-How
His Telescopes Were Nfannfactured-His
Honors at Home and Abroad.
Alvan Clark, whose death at Cambridge,
Mass at the age of 50, was recently recorded,
did more to advance astronomical science
than any other person of this century. As
telescope maker his reputation is world wide.
When Dom Pedro, Of Brazil, visited this
country some years ago he said there were
three persons in Cambridge whom he wanted
much to see. These were Longfellow, Pro-
fessor Agassiz and Mr.. Alvan Clark.
At the age when most persons think they
are too old to begin any new business or learn
anything, or even go on energetically with
what they do know, Mr.. Clark began the
work which made him famous. He did not
SO much as know anything about it. Nor did
he ever see lens in process Of construction
outside Of his own shop. He lived on farm

David Davis Signature.

When David Davis was a judge in
Illinois suit was brought before him
to test the validity of note. The os-
tensibe maker admitted that the sigma
ture was his. but swore that he never
made the note, and it was developed
on trial that some rascal had taken adj
vantage of blank space between the
termination of n letter and the sigma
ture to fill i'm a note of hand, which he
got discounted. The Judge. who was
a very cautious man took hint from
this, and ever afterward signed his own
name so close 70 the last line of every
letter he wrote that it was impossible to
write anything between.

Fourteen Years ago and Now.

The property which Hon. DIN
Wellborn sold to Col. Seth Shepard a
day or two ago on Ervay street for
$500 was offered fourteen years ago
to a merchant in this city for a
set OF furniture, which offer was re-
fused on the ground that it was too
far out in the country. This serves to
show the advance in property as well
as how much the CITY has improved in
proportion and size in that length OF
time.
